    1. This room can sing the fuck out of some songs. I can’t wait to hear the soundtrack.

      I’m so excited for this. The soundtrack will go platinum in my car I already know it.

      I think the premise to this sounds dorky and very lame, but Lin-Manual himself is kind of dorky and lame in a cool sense, so I guess it could work. Hell of a cast for this thing, though I don’t think I’ve ever heard Gaten sing.

      Juxtaposition between Gaten trying so hard and the rest of them not trying at all fascinates me

      Edit: spelling

      Without a throrough knowledge of Lin-Manuel’s stuff, a “first look” won’t suffice.

      “.. charting their compulsions using only the analog vibrancy of their own voices”.

      So corny.

      SOLD.

      I still think its wild how Paul Jordan Jansen went from an Ensemble Member/Understudy to a movie with Hollywood stars in less than two years. Like good for you dude.

      Lol I feel like this picture is trying too hard, but I say that with love because I will ABSOLUTELY be going to see Sheryl and Tramell do their thing

      People saying this sounds corny, as if musicals aren’t already corny af. Don’t get me wrong, I love them but the concept of musicals in general is just silly.

      Whenever I see cast photos like this, I automatically look to the edges of it to find the Black person. It never fails.

      Sheryl Lee Ralph is the only name I needed, but that’s a stacked cast.
